Great breakfast, airport shuttle, did the job. Property is nice enough but can use some love. Staff is excellent. Bar service is a bit slow and the draught beers seem under used.

This is a decent option near OR Tambo Airport. The rooms are a bit small and dated, and the WiFi was unreliable. There also isn’t much in the way of views from the rooms. But the staff is great, the breakfast is solid, and the airport shuttle is quick, free, and reliable.

It’s very simple, but for a one night or two nights stay from the airport it’s perfect
